3 Card Games For Datenight

3 Card Games For Datenight

3 Card Games For Datenight

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you have a great start to a new month. Can you believe it is August, and fall is fast approaching? I thought it was that time again to share a date night idea. You know I love spending time with my hubby and that we love a good date night. I try to share with you every so often fun date nights. Below I am sharing 3 Card Games For Datenight! 

One of them was my favorite as a kid as we played UNO as a family and at all the holidays with relatives.

3 Card Games For Datenight

A bit of quality time can go a long way when it comes to deepening your relationship. The Gottman Institute states that dedicating two hours a week to romantic dates, including playing games or having meals together, is fundamental to creating a happy and healthy relationship.

Playing games can also be necessary for newer couples who want to break the ice and learn more about each other. After all, there’s always something new that you can learn about your partner, no matter how long you’ve been together!

So whether you’re getting to know each other or simply finding ways to liven up your dates, here are a few card games that can help you break the ice:

3 Card Games For Datenight

UNO

UNO is a well-loved card game that’s both fun and nostalgic.

In fact, UNO is a part of many family traditions and can be an exciting conversation starter. The rules remain simple and consistent: you can shuffle the deck before providing seven cards to each player. Then, you’ll take turns drawing a face-up card from the rest of the stack so that you can match one of your seven cards with the number or color of the face-up card. As you take turns drawing and matching cards, you can take this opportunity to talk about fun childhood memories regarding UNO. By taking your partner through memory lane, you can learn a bit more about each other and have a lot more fun while doing it.

Texas Hold ’em

Sometimes, you need a bit of competition to break the ice.

If you and your partner want some friendly competition, you can learn how to play Texas Hold ’em by going over the game’s rules together. In this poker variation, you and your partner will have to create the best five-card hand out of a set of seven cards: the five community cards that are revealed to all the players and the two hole cards that are unique for each player.

Poker players typically bet their chips based on the ranking of their own cards, but you can make your date even more fun by betting a funny dare or offering your partner’s favorite things as a prize instead. By raising the stakes in a creative way, a simple game of poker can lead to more fun experiences during your date.

Bridge

You can also break the ice by inviting another couple and playing a card game on your double date.

Renowned tennis player Martina Navratilova plays bridge socially and has found that it helps her quickly meet new friends. This social aspect means it’s also an excellent option for helping two couples bond with one another. Since teamwork is crucial in this card game, you and your partner will need to plan and coordinate accordingly so that you can deal with both of your hands well. By the end of the game, you’ll come out with a much better rapport.

Actually Curious

Got a question that you’ve always wanted to ask your partner about? Try playing the Actually Curious card game.

Creator Michael Tennant created game mechanics that lower players’ defenses and egos and allows players to speak with greater openness and intent. They are playing the Actually Curious card game challenges individuals to answer thought-provoking questions with honesty while also teaching the other party how to harness their empathy and active listening skills. Trying this game on your date can help you gain a deeper understanding of each other and grow much closer.

Card games can make your date even more interesting by providing thought-provoking questions or even a bit of a challenge. By playing one of these card games, you can make sure that you’re having the most fun while you’re in each other’s company.

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I worked with Station Park in Farmington, Ut, a couple of weeks ago. .on the Opening of one of their sister properties Mountain View Village in Riverton, Utah. What made this even more exciting is Dawn with Party til Dawn, a long-time social media friend who works with one of their sister properties Totem Lake in Washington. She was flying in so we could work together on covering the Grand Opening of Mountain View and a little bit of Station Park. 

Talk about the perfect opportunity to Mix Business with Friendship…Dawn and I met on Instagram and became fast friends. We have a lot in common; our styles are very similar, we’re both midlifers, love our families, think a lot alike, and work for some of the same brands. We also both have working relationships with the Center Cal group. Not to mention texting each other daily. But, meeting each other in person was just so exciting. We felt like we’d known each other forever.

Cabana Life’s New Summer Collection

Cabana Life's New Summer Collection

 

Hello pretty Ladies,

Can you believe how fast Summer is flying by? We’re heading into the 3rd week of July and I can’t believe it. Utah’s Summer weather didn’t kick in until a couple of weeks ago and then it came in blazing! I don’t know about you but I want Summer to slow down a little bite. I need more pool & lake days. 

If you have been following me, then you know I am a Cabana Life clothing Partner for 2022 and Have enjoyed sharing the brand and featuring the New launches and styles. When I caught sight of this Eyelet collection I was smitten. 

Shop Cabana Life and SAVE 20% with code DARCY20

Cabana Life's New Summer Collection

Cabana Life’s New Summer Eyelet Collection

Cabana Life is known for spf50 swimwear and resort wear. Designed by a Skin cancer survivor. This new Eyelet collection is a little different for Cabana Life as it’s still Spf50 protection but it’s more of daily summer wear versus resort or swimwear. 

Eyelet has always been one of my favorite summer fabrics and when I saw this pink tie-shoulder dress, I knew I needed it in my summer dress collection and you do too.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Update your Summer Wardrobe

1. Oversized button up-

white or stripe for the coastal vibe or bright and colorful. Great to style with shorts, over a tee shirt dress, or worn with linen pants. Every wardrobe needs a good button-up.

 

 

10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother

2. Linen Pants –

(Old Navy & Target have great $20-25 ones) Linen is a Classic Summer staple. With so many ways to style with ease, perfect pants forTravel as well!

 

 

3. Straw/Raffia-

A great way to add texture to your outfit. Whether a hat or a bag, this gives your look that Summer vibe! This is also a great way to add in a style that might be trending. You can find either one at all price points, and I am sharing a couple from Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom. 

Hats

 

 

Bags

 

 

 

4. Nude Sandals-

A great nude sandal is always a classic wardrobe builder but is also fun to add to a trending style. Sides, braided, and transparent looks are trending, which gives a great update to your wardrobe.

TRENDING A two-piece set is having a big moment right now, and I love it! Great for Traveling, so easy to style, and a great way to mix and match. 

You can find sets in Shorts, pants, and skirt sets. Today I am featuring this great chambray pant set! Perfect pieces to mix and match.

 

 

6. Colorful Printed Dress-

Have you noticed every summer that there’s a certain print you see a ton of for that season! It’s a great tip to pick up a dress in that Seasons “It pattern.” 

Instant wardrobe update, easy and fun to wear, and you can grab an affordable dress at H&M, Target, and Walmart, an excellent Style tip for shopping seasonal trendy pieces.

 

 

7. Bangles-

I love Arm candy or a great bracelet stack. Whether you love color, beads, or gold, adding an excellent bracelet stack adds texture and looks pretty on your wrist with the shorter summer season tops, Tanks, and dresses. This Amazon set is a deal… set of 4

9 Night Time Beauty Routine Products I Use.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to something fun this weekend. On Wednesday’s Chit Chat Chic live, we did our nightly skincare routines and shared our steps and our products. You can watch the live HERE in case you missed it. 

I thought I would quickly give you a recap of the steps and the products used, along with easy shopping links and the discount codes for quick reference. If you have any questions, leave a comment below or DM me.  

 

Shop the POST Below:

 

SALE CODES=

Colleen Rothschild 20% off with code= 4TH JULY

Tula 15% off with Code DARCY15

Skinstore 20% off with code= JULY 4th (Revision skincare)

 

9 Night Time Beauty Routine Products I Use

 

 

  1. Colleen Rothschild Cleansing Balm

    = The comprehensive Radiant Cleansing Balm clears congested pores and removes impurities while dissolving all traces of makeup, leaving skin balanced, soft, and radiant.

 

 

2. Tula Self Care Sunday Mask=.

Hit the reset button with this deeply nourishing face mask that gives new life to even the most dehydrated, dull & distressed skin. Formulated with probiotic extracts, ceramides, lactic acid & superfoods like apple & prickly pear, this soothing mask hydrates to leave skin looking smooth, soft & more radiant. It can be massaged into the skin as a serum or left on as a nourishing overnight treatment.

 

 

3. Balancing Act Toning Pads=

Instantly lift impurities & help tighten the look of pores with this prebiotics & probiotic extract-packed biodegradable toner pads that help balance the skin’s natural pH after cleansing. Witch hazel helps tighten the look of pores while lactic acid & PHA purify without stripping skin—leaving it prepped & ready to absorb the product. Pads are featherweight & made of soft, biodegradable bamboo fibers, formulated without alcohol & infused with a refreshing wild mint leaf. Skincare is a balancing act & these powerful pH balancing pads help keep it all in check.

 

 

 

 

4. Colleen Rothschild Vit C Complex =   

Vitamin C Treatment Complex improves natural radiance and clarity while defending against environmental aggressors like pollution, stress, and sun damage.

 

 

5. Eye Cream

Eye Renewal= Refresh & firm the look of tired eyes. A potent & creamy yet lightweight formula powered by peptides, pink silk tree, sea algae & probiotic extracts helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles & dark under-eye circles plus firm the look of the skin. A cooling metal applicator instantly soothes skin.

Revitalizing anti-Aging Eye cream=. The perfect do-it-all day & night eye cream. Powerful peptides reduce the appearance of wrinkles & improve the look of firmness & elasticity. Olive squalane & probiotic extracts hydrate & nourish the delicate skin around the eyes. Get ready to embrace your skin™ at any age—Ageless is the new anti-aging.™

 

 

 

6. Colleen Rothchild Hydrating mask

The Intense Hydrating Mask provides a boost of highly concentrated hydration to tight, dry, rough, or dehydrated skin. In addition, this treatment helps strengthen elasticity, leaving skin with youthful suppleness and radiance.

 

 

7. Revision Lip

Youthfull lips= Replenisher, a definitive solution for youthful lips. I use it nightly and love how my lips fill in the morning. No dry, flaky lips here! Helps with lip lines as well. 

 

 

8. Revision Neck cream

Nectifirm= For firming the appearance of the neck and decolletage! I use it every night and have seen improvements. 

 

 

9. Colleen Rothschild Hand Cream

The non-greasy Restorative Hand Cream soothes dry, chapped, cracked hands and leaves skin with a velvety-smooth finish. This is my go-to hand cream, and I give it as gifts! It’s a game-changer! BEST SELLER for me week after week.

What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in Utah as a over 50 Wife, Mom, COCO and content Creator💋

Utah Weather in the Spring 🌱
Calls for layers….

Spring weather here can be “Schizophrenic” from a blizzard  To sunny and 60 in a day!

Although we’ve had an unusually strange winter this year, Spring still calls for layers.

Bundling up for the morning, and being able to take pieces off throughout the day, makes a great tip for Utah Springs.

I like classic pieces, in light colors and weights, yet work when layered to keep you warm.

Pieces you can mix and match, great wardrobe builders and add some texture.

- lighter weight & color long Wool coat , looks chic over shoulders, yet not to hot when on (I have a rain coat too) 

-Classic trousers are still trending and a great option to look more polished, shades of cream, tan and camel are great for Spring (works well with pastels too)

- Light weight, thinner ribbed mock neck turtleneck. I love the feel and fit of these. Affordable too.

- Vest are a great Spring layer, and the large Plaid/check in neutral shades keeps in classic and add interest. Yet, light enough for spring for layering and not sweat to death 😂
(I love linen vests too) 

- Adding texture with a fluffy & light fur on one shoulder (well still be seeing fur details for Spring)  Draped on one shoulder does add heat, like wearing around your neck does.

- Classic jewelry in gold & silver mix… and yes, I layered and stacked it on… classic pieces & yet layered gives your look a little edge. 

- Western suede pointed toe booties, elongate the leg, add more texture and keep your feet warmer but not too warm. 

Do you need layers in the Spring where you live?

❤️Follow for more Spring layer Outfits…. I have several style, color and on trend. While classic looks coming your way….

This Chapter…. My Melanoma Cancer Journey Shari This Chapter…. 
My Melanoma Cancer Journey 

Sharing my journey this far…Today, is 3 week post surgery.
 
Being told you have cancer is a roller coaster of emotions…
This is a journey none of us think you’re going to head down.

You can choose so many different paths to let your brain and emotions go…

I choose to give it to God, and to ask for your prayers, along with following my heart.

I knew I needed to stay positive and trust the process.
(Did I have scary thoughts and some tears, YES, Yes I did) 
But, honesty it wasn’t long. 

Once I gave it over, and trusted him and the process, along with asking for your prayers. 

I was at complete peace. Thank you for all my prayer warriors, I know I got the results I did because of you and your prayers. 

I’ve been told, I am strong, a warrior and so brave for sharing my journey. 
Honestly, I truly don’t feel that way at all, I fell like it’s a process to share, to help others and to help it not feel as scary! 

I didn’t know what to expect,  didn’t know what having my face cut up, or knowing what any of the processes or procedures were (I would have loved to have known…)

If I was going through this and these emotions, so were others. 

My hope in sharing  the journey, would help others to know the importance of getting your skin checked. 
In knowing the processes, and knowing we can do scary things, and we can get through them.

They say it takes a village to raise kids, but it also takes a village & prayers to get through life.🙏🏻

Thank you for all your support, love, prayers, DMs and messages of support.
I couldn’t have done it without all of you🙏🏻

Tomorrow is my first laser🙏🏻💪🏻
I’ll share who that goes in stories tomorrow 😉

⚠️Please note Melanoma is a very aggressive Skin cancer and is very different than other “skin cancers” I explained more about this in my prior lives.

⚠️Share this post, if you know someone going through melanoma ⚠️

🚨Go get your skin checked
